And that's where SACD comes into play, eh? (For those not aware, SACD uses a 4.7 GB disc -- but for standard-length albums -- yielding much higher audio quality than ordinary CDs)
Why did you capitalize and add the (TM) to Real Work(TM). I've also seen that kind of thing done to Good Thing(TM) and Bad Thing(TM). What do the caps and (TM) mean???
In a nutshell, items that are capitalized have a connotation as being emphasized and self-evident. For instance, with Real Work, the author is trying to convey that he's talking about real work and nothing short of it.
To save everyone some time in common questions and answers, there's a FAQ on Mozilla's spellchecker (or lack thereof).
However, there's a new development. As you may know, bug 56301 tracks the progress on the Mozilla spellchecker. And, for a while, progress had become stagnant. Then, David Einstein stepped up to the plate and started working on a spellchecker for Mozilla. His latest work is available at spellchecker.mozdev.org.
I feel that a spellchecker would bring much deserved respect to Mozilla, and I encourage you to lend a hand to David. Or, it would even help if you could vote for bug 56301 to show your support (of course, you'll need a free Bugzilla account to vote).
For those interested in giving it a try, you can get a free issue of Cook's Illustrated. I just signed up for the free issue, and I figured I'd give it a try.
Hmm, I don't see "Walker" listed on the CS Faculty page.. Does he perhaps not work there anymore? I was hoping to see a picture of the guy in case I could recognize him (I graduated VT CS in '00).
Is there an easy way to find this info? The last time I searched, I tried "company hierarchies", "company trees", and some others, but none of my searches turned up anything useful.
Though I'd be very interested in finding such a list, I find that -- in lieu of such a list -- it can be helpful to just check on the websites of the MegaCorps themselves (as they seem to be more than eager to list their subsidiary companies).
In due fairness, Comedy Central is jointly owned by Viacom (yeah, that other mega-entertainment company) and HBO (which is an "AOL/TW Property", of course).
For those not familiar with it, SACD is similar to (and competes with) DVD-Audio, as it uses much more storage space than an ordinary CD in order to garner higher quality (while still just a single disc).
By all accounts that I've read, SACD sounds significantly better than ordinary CDs, and better than DVD-Audio, even. So, I'm probably going to buy a combination DVD/SACD player within the next few months. Anyhow, has anyone heard any CES announcements on upcoming DVD/SACD players?
HTML Kit is a nice editor for win32 (though happen to prefer Crimson Editor), but keep in mind that HTML Tidy is a separate product (no affiliation with HTML Kit) that you can download on your own. And, unlike HTML Kit, HTML Tidy is available for many operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and even Atari.
Since there's not going to be x86 support for Solaris 9, is there any chance that maybe Solaris 9 could be eventually Open Sourced (to at least allow for the possibility of an x86 version), à la Quake II?
> I did them just fine on all the tests, thank you very much
This is a bit off-topic, but go with me on this. Why is it that Americans have the tendency so say "thank you very much" when they really mean "contrary to what you may think"? For instance, the above phrase could be alternatively worded as "I did them just fine on all the tests, contrary to what you may think".
I've seen every episode of Babylon 5 (in widescreen on Sci-Fi), but I don't quite understand your allusion. Maybe my brain's just fried from too much coding, but could you give me a hint?
So last year I hacked together some php to maintain online wishlists for everybody. Each person gets an account and maintains their own wishlist. Other people can check off items from their list to mark them as being purchased (eliminates the dupe gift problem). You can't see what's checked off on your own list, but everyone else can.
So, what's the url, dude? Don't just dangle the carrot;).
I learned Morse code in 1978 from a fine old geezer in Sweden, who amongst other things taught me to write all characters as a single stroke: backwards 3 for "E", a sort of a triangle for "A", and so on - just like graffiti.
Could you go over your alphabet a bit more? It sounds like an interesting idea, and I too would like to try it for everyday use.

Do you have a link for the Pilot program "Guten-text"? I tried a Google search, but it didn't turn up much :(.
For info on concealed carry laws, you should check out Packing.org. Here's the Vermont-specific section.
When you say "that book", which one are you referring to? The "sex" or the "parenting" one?
- TM
- Good thing
- Bad Thing

Of course, using the nightlies can be bleeding edge, but the Build Comments can help to ensure smooth sailing.

Actually, FWIW, ScreenWrite v2 uses "Inkverse Extensions" instead of HackMaster.

For instance, I've been boycotting Pillsbury ever since they sent cease-and-desist letters to universities and Sun Microsystems (among others) for using the term "bake off" to describe their protocol evaluation sessions.
But, it doesn't just end there. With a little checking, you can find out that General Mills owns Pillsbury. And, for a boycott to be effective, that meant that I needed to also boycott the rest of General Mills. So, for instance, that means no Yoplait, no Cheerios or Chex, no Betty Crocker or Bisquick, and no Jolly Green Giant, Old El Paso, or Progressive (among other brands). And, you know what? I've stuck with it -- to this day, I don't buy from Pillsbury, General Mills, or any of its subsidiaries.

What's the etymology to this beast?
BTW, this Sharp nonsense is Tech Evangelism bug 63915 at Mozilla.org.
So.. if you create your own NAN (Neighborhood Area Network), are you sticking it to the MAN?
You're not serious... are you? (Hmm.. Perhaps HHOK or HHOS could have been appended to your post)
Have you considered releasing your scripts as GPL or such? I'd sure like to make use of them for next Christmas :).
